Emergency brake failed, vehicle rolled when the clutch was pressed to start the vehicle, the brakes would not work until vehicle was running.
When braking while making a sharp turn in either direction, brakes will vibrate violently and fail to stop the car. When reapplied the brakes operate as intended. Has happened four times and I had the dealer look into problem when vehicle was in service for an unrelated problem. Dealer reported that they found nothing wrong with the brakes.
When applying brakes gear skipped and and brakes became loose. No braking power. Also, consumer was having electrical problems which caused defects in the alarm.
